[Opuntia]

While waiting for a post-II decision, are we supposed to submit anything for financial aid/scholarship consideration?

 

[mangobeach]

Guys is this the week?

 

[kermitiv]

Guys is this the week?

i think so...

 

[curious_yaourt]

historically has it been Friday?

 

[deleted1143918]

It's been 3/1 or 3/2 at 11 AM EST for the past 3 years, but also usually on Tues/Wed, so could be 2/27-28 or 3/4-5 this year as well

buried a bit but this is what it's been the past few years

 

[bombatil]

Do we know if they call or if we just get an email?

 

[FantasticFanatic]

Do we know if they call or if we just get an email?

It’s an email. Acceptances come out first before WLs and Rs

 

[manifestinggoalsrn]

This question is directed to any current MD students. Does anyone that lives in the apartments have a car and if they do, where do they park?

I fear I will be just like spider-man in that I will just keep taking Ls despite my humorous affect

Does anyone know what time of day they usually release decisions? I am trying to limit the amount of time I freak out (if that is even possible)

11 AM EST is when they start

edited to add: they usually roll out a bit over an hour or throughout the day depending on the year. if you see people getting A's here and you haven't yet, it's not over

Unless you already have an PHD-MD A, it wont show up until you have been WL or A

 

[curious_yaourt]

Just wanted to add that on Columbia's website they say decisions are released in early March so i doubt it'll be today

I saw MSAR was march 1 so I am betting on friday....staying chill till then 🙂

I am not a current MD student. I'm an applicant, but I'm a native New Yorker and want to say that you should never bring your car into Manhattan. It's not worth it at alll lol if you want to bring your car, I suggest you rent a room in Brooklyn or Queens, where rent may be cheaper than average Manhattan prices (but probably not as cheap as Columbia's housing).

 

[BaileyBoo20]

Does anyone have any more thoughts as to whether we expect decisions Friday vs next Tuesday/Wednesday?. Trying to be less neurotic but saw comments on here about both

i think at this point its entirely speculation for either march 1 or next week. ill be tweaking from now until i get the email anyway haha

 

[justlikehoney]

how are you so sure?

 

[deleted1143918]

how are you so sure?

just interpreting the vibes and the whispers of the wind (i.e. i'm not so sure) but just based on their patterns in past years and news through the grapevine

also bc my heart can't take more bad news this week, 3 is plenty 💀

 

[kermitiv]

Wasn’t their pattern last year and the year before releasing on March 1

yes but i think that historically its always been on a tuesday or wednesday? (correct me if im wrong) so thats where the possibility of it being next week is coming from

 

[deleted1143918]

yeah exactly! although decisions always start around 11 AM est so if there's silence by noon-ish we can chill

 

[PatentForamenOvale]

Here’s what I found, but I figure we’ll know in less than an hour if they release at 11am!

2023: March 1, Wednesday
2022: March 1, Tuesday
2021: March 2, Tuesday
2020: March 2, Monday
2019: Feb 28, Thursday

 

[keksD]

Monday Thursday Tuesday Wednesday okay it’s time for a Friday to round it out

iirc many years ago it came on march 1 the friday

 

[OGFloridaMan]

iirc many years ago it came on march 1 the friday

Oh really?? Well at least there's precedent then!

 

[sillychemistry]

not to be dramatic but I could vom

 

[justlikehoney]

whatever happens remember columbia does not define your worth 🙏 (i’m pre-coping)

 

[BigBrainMD]

the suspense is killing me lol

 

[potatoe79]

the suspense is killing me lol

I think that today is not the day

 

[lilacmagnolia]

I think that today is not the day

Why do you say so? Last year, acceptances went out at 12:05 EST on 3/1, so I thought today was still an option

I sometimes think admin people watch these threads just to ensure premeds are still being neurotic as always WE WANT DECISIONS COLUMBIA! GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
